Nature Inspired Outdoor Christmas Decorations from Little Brags

Hello guys, it's been a bit quiet on the blog and I have not been able to reply to 

comments as well and fast as I normally like to. 

I have been busy doing a Live Christmas Tour for Hometalk this Tuesday. 

You can watch it here if you would like to. Meanwhile I also took a bunch of pics 

of our house decorated for Christmas and Winter. Since there are a lot of pics, 

I will post them in stages. Today I am sharing my outdoor Christmas/Winter 

pics with you and hope that you will find some inspiration here.

Ok peeps, lets get going....

Here is a little corner of the back patio, I decorated the spool table 

with mostly nature such as fresh moss, greens, branches and heather 

plants....Can you tell I am into the Scandinavian look!

DIY Christmas Moss Stars For The Front Porch

Hello Sweets, I want to share these cute mossy stars I made last weekend with you guys.
Inspiration STRUCK and I had a vision of a Christmas front porch with mossy stars 
this year. I came up with an easy and inexpensive way to make them and I am so
glad I did, cuz I luv them!!! 

So Fall Is Coming Down This Weekend

Hello guys, well I meant to share these pics of our fall porch before Thanksgiving was over, 

but that didn't happen 🙈. I feel like I am way behind with everything and struggling to 

keep up with my blog, especially with Thanksgiving week. But hey that's life! 

So the fall decor is coming down this weekend and here are a couple of pics of the front 

porch before Christmas is going up.

Project Mudroom Organization

Hi there loves, how is your November going so far? Well, I seem to have gotten bit my the organizing bug. I spend this weekend cleaning out the garage and closets and making Goodwill runs. I really don't enjoy organizing a whole lot but it sure feels good when you are done and you can actually find things and open 

a closet door without having baskets and boxes attacking you.  

One area I need to not only de-clutter but also re-think and re-do is our little mudroom. The cold & wet weather is here now and our mudroom gets so crowded with jackets and boots. I currently use baskets and crates for shoe storage but that is not working well, the boys just keep throwing their shoes on the ground 

as they come in and I keep picking them up....over and over... We need a different system! 

I put together this Inspiration Board/Wishlist to help me get started.

I needed a plan and found everything here:

Wayfair Entry & Hall Furniture

Have You Ever Seen A Bunny In A Halloween Costume?

Well neither have I, which is why I had to get this adorable Star Wars 

Ewok costume when I saw it at Petco last week.

Now, I had no idea how Bugsy would take to being dressed 

up but I have so say he got used to it pretty fast and the pictures turned out adorbs!

Halloween Porch 2016

Hello Lovies, this will be  a very quick post, trying to get out of the house and get this post up! 

Without further chatter, here is our Halloweenie Front Porch (very late, as always)....

Enjoy the pics!!! MUAHHH

Project Challenge: Reclaimed Wood

Hello friends, it's been a while since our last project challenge. We all needed to take a summer break, but here we are, back again!!!! This months project is "RECLAIMED WOOD". 

I literally sat down the night before and came
up with this little house number sign, super 
quick and easy little project.

A New Kitchen Table, New Kubu Stools and Some Fresh Paint

Hello Loves, I totally forgot to show you guys some changes I made in our kitchen. 
We got a new kitchen nook table a while back, and a couple of new KUBU stools 
(details of new furniture at end of post). I also changed the walls from chocolate 
brown to GAUNTLET GRAY by Sherwin Williams. I love the new paint color 
and will show you more of that soon. 

DIY Personalized Birthday Gift Idea

Hello Loves, have you all made it into October alright? Well, I am already down 
with my first cold of the new season !!! FIGURES!!!

I wanted to share a quick little project I made last weekend. I was invited to a 
60th Birthday Party and I wanted to bring a "little something special and 
personal" to the birthday girl. Earlier that morning I went to a local bazaar and 
purchased another galvanized bucket (which one can never have enough of...lol). 
Once I got home I stenciled her birth year onto the bucket.

Little Brags On Instagram

Hello and Happy Sunday Loves, I wanted to share a few new pics from my Instagram page with you that I did not post on my blog yet, so making sure you all know about my Instagram page and would love it it you follow me there as well!!!!! I find it very challenging to keep all the social media stuff updated all the time, I am a total slacker on Twitter, but I usually remember to post on Instagram on a regular basis. 

So of you are not following me on Instagram yet, I would 

love it if you did!!!!! 

Enjoy some new snapshots around the family room.

As you can probably tell in the pictures I am definitely doing the 

Moroccan-Boho thing!!!! LOL

Hanging An Old Window From The Fence

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a fun and relaxing Labor Day today! 

I want to share a little something with you I did this weekend.

Earlier this summer I found an old window at one of my favorite little country stores, 

it's been sitting on the deck for several weeks but I finally figured out where to put it up.

A Boho-Moroccan Bedroom in Germany

Hi Loves, if you follow my blog you might remember last months post "Decor Inspiration from Holland"? My best friend Michi who lives in Germany recently took a trip to the Netherlands and did some serious SHOPPING over there!!! Last month I shared the pictures she took of the stores she visited, and today I want to show you how she decorated with some of  her new-found treasures.  My friend and I both love the Boho-Moroccan-Scandinavian Interior trend (Or whatever you call that) ...lol

Unfortunately I have no BEFORE pictures of her bedroom, 

but most important, here is how it looks now.

A Few New Things Around The House

Hello friends, it's been a bit quiet around the blog this summer. We took a family trip in July and I hardly spend any time on the computer. Things are back to normal, but it seems to me that I will be playing "bloggy reading catch up" for a long time. 

I wanted to share some new things around the house with you. For those of you that follow my blog, you know I have been painting our kitchen and family room this summer. With the new paint color came some re-decorating and I also picked up a few new things. My taste has changed so much this year and I need to take it slow and give a lot of thought to what I want to invest time and money for. 

Well, let's get to the fun part Amiga's (and Amigo's), here are some pictures for you!!!! Here is a wall in our kitchen nook. My friend Michi got me this cute window frame a while back, I wrapped some stringlights around it, I love the combination of the rich gray wall color and the pop of white from the lights.

Creating An Outdoor Oasis with Arhaus

Hello and Happy Summer Loves! How is your summer going so far? Do you have a patio/deck or outdoor space that you like to hang out on this time of year? 

DECOR Inspiration from Holland

Hello friends, today I want to share some major eye candy with ya all....my bestest friend MICHI who lives in beautiful Bavaria/Germany recently took a trip to the Netherlands to go on a shopping spree.
She and I seem to have the same taste especially when concerning Decor. I had ask her to
take some pictures for me if she saw something really cool, and so she did.......
Let me just tell you my jar hit the floor when she send me these pictures...
Ohhhh the envy....LOL
Oh what torture to see all these gorgeous finds and not being able to be there with her and shop!!!!!!
I love the style in the stores she visited, it's this weird combo of Nordic meets Moroccan if that makes sense!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did, I found amazing inspiration here and I can't
wait to go back to the Netherlands next time we are in Europe, Trouble is, I don't think you can
rent a U-haul and attach it to the air plane going home...hmmmmm that is a problem!

Well enough chatter, I hope you will enjoy the inspiration
as much as I did! 

Been Busy Painting

Hi there and Happy Weekend Loves, it's been a bit quiet on my blog for 

the last couple of weeks. But I have a good excuse. I have been 

busy painting our family room, kitchen and kitchen nook. 

I am hoping to finish up today and take a painting break before 

I attack the dining room next.

Here is a sneak peak of the progress.....

The Family Room used to be RED and BEIGE. It is now GRAY.....a beautiful 

rich accent color GAUNTLET GRAY by Sherwin Williams and  

AMAZING GRAY by Sherwin Williams.

Hello and Happy Sunday Loves, I wanted to share a couple of new things 

happening in our family room with you. 

First off, I ordered this awesome 

Moroccan pouf from World Market and I luv it !!!!!

SNEAK PEAK of new paint color in our Family Room

Hi Cuties, I want to share with you what I was up to last weekend. I finally painted 

the accent walls in our family room. For those of you that have been following 

my blog for a while, you know I have been sick of the "ginger red" accent walls 

we had in the family room. I hate painting, so I lived with it for much longer than I should have. 

Ohhhhh, Why Must I Take Down The Easter Decor ?

NOT IN THE MOOD...need I say more? I could decorate with cute bunnies year round!!! 

It always takes me forever to take down my seasonal decor. 
Perhaps I need to get in the habit of starting out earlier!!! DUHHHHHH

Well, maybe you can find some Easter inspiration 

here for next year...LOL

Project Challenge: CHALK PAINT

Hello guys, are you ready for another DIY blogger challenge?

I sure hope so, cuz this month's challenge is "CHALK PAINT" 

and I luv me some chalk paint!!!! Do you have an item 

at home that you don't like anymore? Well, before you get rid of it

try painting it with chalk paint, you might be surprised at the outcome. 

I had a laundry detergent container sitting in the closet for years, 
but didn't want to throw it out, because I remembered it was 
expansive at the time.

Our Real Easter Bunny, An Impostor And Just Plain Cuteness

Hello and Happy Easter Loves, I am in a big rush today, getting the house ready and cooking for Easter Sunday tomorrow. I did take some adorable pictures of our 4 legged cuties this morning and managed to edit them in a hurry....

Gotta make it quick, cuz I don't want anybody to starve tomorrow....

So without further chatting, here is the most adorable bunny in town.....

Bugsy is the name!

I recently gave this little red radio flyer wagon a quick coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, perfect photo prop for my cuties.

Our Easter Entry 2016

quick pictures of our entry, so I can share them before Easter is over!!!! 

Our Easter Porch 2016

Hello and Happy Spring everyone!!!!! 
I finally took some pics of our Easter Porch today. 

It's getting late as I am typing this post, so I will keep it short 
and let the pictures speak for themselves.

Spring and Easter Decor Inspiration From The Past

Hola sweets, well I was planning on having the house decorated for Spring by today, 

but NOPE...that didn't happen as planned. So unfortunately I have nothing new 

to show you this week. But I figured, I can at least re-share some of my

Spring & Easter posts from the past until I have my new post ready for you. 

It's actually kind of nice to re-share older posts every once in a while, 

so they can get some more LOVIN...LOL

Our Easter Porch 2015

Project Challenge: CLOCK FACE

Hello there sweets, another month has flown by and here we are again with yet another 
DIY blogger challenge. If this is your first time here, let me explain what's going on. 
Each month a group of us bloggers have a different project challenge to come up with. 
This month the challenge given was  CLOCK FACE ....hmmmmm  tricky one right? 

I choose to make something fun & playful for our bonus/playroom, since we 
are just in the process of re-doing that space. Since our son is truly 
a night-owl, it seemed only perfect to make a clock with the theme 
"Night Owl" (our rabbit approved, I might add)!



A Little Bar In A Crate

Happy Presidents Day Loves!!! I hope you guys are enjoying the extra day off today! 
I've spend all day in my PJ's yesterday, being lazy for a big part of the day !!!  
On the "non-lazy" part of the day I re-arranged some stuff in the dining room. 
I wanted to show you the little mini-bar I made out of an old crate.

As you guys know, I love to decorate with old crates, one can never have enough. 

I just added some candles and straws along with the very few bottles of booze 

I found in the pantry. I think it's just enough to qualify as a bar!!! 

Happy Valentines Day

Wishing you all a super sweet day

filled with lotsa luv and chocolates!!!!!

Project Challenge: Spindles, Moulding Or Trim

Hola amigas, time for our monthly DIY blogger challenge again...Yipeeeee 

Each month a group of us bloggers have a different project challenge to come up with. 

This month we had to make something using Spindles, Moulding or Trim.

  



I decided to make an "ABOVE THE DOOR SIGN"

 for our tiny mud-room area using a piece of trim.

Wintery Decor On The Back Patio

Hello and Happy New Year peeps!!! Today I am sharing a little corner in our backyard 

with you, all decked out in winter décor. This year we got our Christmas tree kind

of late (8 days before Christmas), so when it was time to get rid of the tree, it still

looked so beautiful and  fresh. So when we took it down, we cut off all the branches

and saved them for some winter décor outside.

  I filled our little fire pit and the wooden crate on the spool table

with tons of branches.
